Dear Anyuta! I received your letter and Mark T.'s also, and then a postcard from mama.

Many, many thanks to all! I am not in need of money now. My captivity was quite short, 12 days in all, and very soon I received special privileges, in general the "sitting" was quite light, conditions and treatment good. Now I have gradually looked around and settled in here. We live in 2 furnished rooms, very good ones, we dine at a nearby canteen. Nadya feels healthy, E.V. too, although she has aged very much. I finished an article for Granat's dictionary (on Marx) and am sending it to him in the next few days. I only had to abandon part

(the larger part, almost all) of the books in Galicia... I fear very much for their fate. It is very sad to observe the growth of chauvinism in various countries and such treacherous acts as those of the German (and not only German) Marxists or so-called Marxists... It is quite understandable that the liberals again praise Plekhanov: he has fully earned this shameful punishment.

Answer me as soon as possible, how are things with the journal. Is there a possibility to renew it and when? Does the post take responsibility for registered manuscripts? I warmly embrace and kiss mama, wish her health, to all from all big greetings!

Your V. Ulyanov

P.S. I saw the shameful and shameless issue of "Sovremennyy Mir"... shame, shame!..
